+--------------------------
+
+This function unlinks all URBs associated with an anchor. The URBs
+are processed in the reverse temporal order they were submitted.
+This is similar to usb_kill_anchored_urbs(), but it will not sleep.
+Therefore no guarantee is made that the URBs have been unlinked when
+the call returns. They may be unlinked later but will be unlinked in
+finite time.

usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout()
-------------------------------
This function waits for all URBs associated with an anchor to finish
or a timeout, whichever comes first. Its return value will tell you
whether the timeout was reached.
